(JTA) — Last week, at a university known for its diverse population, more than a dozen students sat on the floor of a campus building for 10 minutes holding photos of #Palestinian children killed in the war in #Gaza.

Five days later, their group was suspended through the end of the semester for staging an unauthorized protest.

It wasn’t in the Ivy League, and ICE agents weren’t about to raid the dorms. It was the latest dustup over the Gaza war at the University of #Haifa, where #Jewish and #Arab #Israeli students have at times clashed in ways that echo the campus drama in the United States.

Why indie cinemas are embracing ‘No Other Land’ — even as US distributors are staying away

Though ‘#NoOtherLand’ has been ignored by mainstream distributors, small cinemas in the #US say that screening it has been a no-brainer

#ICE arrests #Palestinian protest leader at #Columbia, in sharp escalation of campus actions

Jewish groups and leaders immediately spoke out both in favor and against the arrest

[#Jewish publication from #USA]

"#BendTheArc, a progressive #Jewish group..., tweeted that President #DonaldTrump was playing on fears of antisemitism in order to pursue an anti-democratic agenda.

“The #WhiteHouse’s authoritarian actions are being falsely done in our name as #Jews, by a President and politicians who actively use antisemitism and do not speak for Jews,” the group tweeted. “We’ve been afraid this day would come since campus protests began. Free speech and education are pillars of our democracy, and a healthy democracy is what keeps Jews safest.”

The Anti-Defamation League ... praised the arrest while calling for immigration law to be followed. "

Sadly, not fiction. The ADL continues to back neo-fascism.

Also investing in #Tesla today is nearly as immoral as investing in #Ford or #Volkswagen in rhe the 1930s.

I agree with this op-ed writer (in #TheForward, a #JewishLeft publication) about the ways that the threat of #antisemitism (which is real) has made colleges to stifle #FreeSpeech.

「スクープ：ヘリテージ財団はウィキペディア編集者を「特定して標的にする」計画」： The Forward

「同紙が入手した文書によると、ヘリテージ財団は、反ユダヤ主義的と思われるコンテンツを公開することで「立場を乱用」しているウィキペディアのボランティア編集者を「特定して標的にする」計画だという。

第2次トランプ政権のプロジェクト2025政策青写真を作成した保守系シンクタンク、ヘリテージの従業員らは、オンライン百科事典への寄稿者を特定するために、顔認識ソフトウェアと、ハッキングされたユーザー名とパスワードのデータベースを使用する計画であると述べた。仮名で。これまで報道されていないウィキペディアの取り組みがどのような反ユダヤ主義に対処することを目的としているのかは正確には明らかではない。しかしここ数カ月、一部のユダヤ人団体は、イスラエル、ガザ戦争とその影響に関するウェブサイト上の一連の変更について苦情を述べている。」

#Dutch #Jews grapple with ‘weaponization’ of their fear following attack on #Israelis

[Has information on the racist anti-Arab provocations of the visiting Israeli soccer fans, including tearing down Palestinian flags and burning a taxi belonging to a Moroccan driver. It's clear that much of the violence was directed at Israeli hooligans, not Jews in general.]

Excerpt: "Jelle Zijlstra, who is Jewish and works as a community organizer in Amsterdam, made a post that went viral on Instagram stating that “multiple truths can exist at the same time.” It highlighted both the assaults on Israelis and footage of the fans shouting “F— Palestine” the night before.

“There was definitely antisemitism involved in some of the events that took place,” Zijlstra said in an interview. “Were Jews attacked in the streets? Yes, but those Jews were also violent hooligans.”"

Very thoughtful response to this query in The Bintel Brief (advice column from #TheForward).

My favorite part is this quote, "“I do think you can find your place in Jewish community, but you might not find everything you’re looking for in one community,"

This has definitely been my experience. I would be very unhappy if I was forced to choose one Jewish Community to belong to exclusively. I need my #humanistic #havurah for fellowship, inspiration, and intellectual engagement with fellow non-theists, but I also need my local brick and mortar #Reform synagogue for the experience of being part of a large pluralistic community, as well as all of the in-person opportunities for community engagement (and of course all of the programming they provide for my son).

And... I also need my non-Jewish spiritual community, my lovely quirky progressive #Mennonite church where I remain an associate member. I need to be in a space sometimes where I can be unapologetic about prioritizing #peace above all other values.

"A #disinformation campaign linked to #Russia has intensified its activity in recent weeks, with fake news articles, dummy websites and videos using AI-generated voice-overs to spread false reports regarding the war in #Gaza and protests in #Israel.
